A STRONG ARGUMENT.


4 Opes Presperous Region Of EsslasG
BegBsred BY Free Trade.
English hop-growers have made out,
. very clear case against free trade.
Their industry, once one of the most
dourishing in the southern Counties
has been languishing for years under
pressure Of American competition.
Deputation after dcputation has been
sent from Sussex and Kent to Down.
ing Street to explain the critical state
Of the industry. but budget after
budget is introduced in the House Of
Commons without modification of the
present methods of raising revenue
from beer. Every suggestion for levy
ing a small duty on foreign hops il
secuted. Colonel Brookfield. writing
from the House of Commons to The
81. James Gazette. predicts the speedy
extinction of an industry which
furnishes employment for nearly
5000. 900 men. women and children.
He compares the prices Of English
and American hops since 1882, and
proves by q close calculation Of the
expense Of producing. picking and
drying a crop in Sussex and Kent that
in 1886 there was net loss Of $3.50
per acre. In consequence of the ex-
traordinary decline in prices in five
years from 800 to 80 shillings per hum
dred-weight the hop planting communi-
ty has been beggared. and gardens
which were once n source of great profit
are now grubbed and used for other
crops. Even when the English crop
is unusually light. as was the case in
1885. great export from the United
States received free of duty scales down
the price and wipes out the margin for
profit.
An anomaly of this industrial col
lapse is the fact that beer is neither
cheaper nor better in England. al
though hops are low-priced. Beer is
heavily taxed and the price is thereby
artiticially raised. so that consumers
do not get the benefit of cheap hops.
BY the economic canons prevailing in
England they are not entitled to cheap
beer, since that is not one Of the neces-
sites of life like bread, meat and cloth
ing. The hop-raisers, however. are un-
able to discriminate between the i'm
morality Of taxing foreign hops and the
morality of taxing native beer. They
can not understand why free-traders
should be unwilling to levy . small inn
port duty on one of the chief ingredi-
ents of beer and at the same time to
reduce the tax on beer. Consumers.
they contend. would not have to pay
more for the manufactured article in
that case, while hop-growers. protected
BY the duty. would get better prices
and thrive as they did in happier days.
The logic is apparently good. but it
fails to make an impression upon either
the treasury officials or the House of
Commons. An import duty on foreign
hops would revive. it is true. o mori-
bund English industry and be a gen.
uine releaf measure for agricultural
classes. but it would also be = confess
sion of the fallibility of the free-trade
gospel. and John Bull is not prepared
to sacrifice Cobden's principles for the
sake Of giving employment to 5000. O0G
people. Meanwhile American hop

WARREN AND PETE.

While the stirring events we have
related We're TRANSPORTING. Warren Stu
art WAS in Chicago in bli>sful ignorance
of it all. He found his fathers real
estate agent very pleasant business
like gentleman. and very rapid in all
his work save Mr. Stuart'S.
Warren was DELAYED from day to day
until he began to suspect that hi. father
had requested that he be retained some
time in the CITY. He wrote repeatedly
to Helen Lakeman, but received no
answer. His mother wrote him affec-
tionate letters. telling him every thing
except what he really wished to know.
If there is any thing more annoying
than to receive letter which contains
every thing except just what You want
to know, we have never discovered it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stuart seemed to possess
that remarkable faculty Of talking or
writing all around subject with
out touching it. Three words, three
strokes Of the pen, would have
saved Warren many sleepless nights.
But those words did not come He
felt sure they would not. He ceased
to write to Helen. and wrote to his sis
ter Rose In her he had warm. SYM
pathetic friend.
Warren little dreamed what was
transpiring ut home. His next letter
from his father stated that Rose had
r-eeeived his last and would answer II
soon: it continued urging him to re-
main until the agent had finished the
abstract for him.

here, said Warren. chatting AT this de-

Pete was soon mingling among the
miners, picking up such Information As
he could, and making himself very
agreeable. When they sat down to

blessing. Pete said to himself:

..An' We are out here huntin' for lead

"Yes. sir. we are now doing what is

'Are We acquainted hereabouts?"
'.No sir; are you?"
"Ye better reckin I am. 1 have

Pete then proceeded TO give an ac-
count Of the wrongs of the Lakeman
heirs. In his crude way he described
Helen's devotion to her little brother.
and the patience of the cripple. Mr..
Whitehead listened until he had COM
pleted the narration. then said:
How much was the farm wOrth?"
Five thousand dollars"
1T is lucky for them that they lost
the farm and retained these wild
lands" said the miner.
"Why?" asked Pete.
They are worth five times rs much
as that. at least. perhaps more
What cried Pete, starting up and
letting his pipe fall from his hand.
Would You be willin' to give twenty
five thousand dollars for this land'"
Yes" answered the prospector. Il
would give twenty-five thousand
now. and if the lead turns out rs ex-
pect it will. I'll doublei it."
Pete sat dumbfoVnded. He was
shown some Of the ore, which con-
WINGED him it was genuine.
As he lay in the hammock that night
he was filled with JOY at the thought
that those prosecuted children We're
